Member exclusive: bite-sized lunch and learn – ask the events experts

Join us as our panel will share their experiences and knowledge, give hints and tips for successful event planning to help you succeed and work your way through the complexities of planning that perfect event. Whether you need to learn more about choosing and working with your ideal venue, how to retain and attract corporates and sponsors, managing delegates, or designing an engaging programme, we’d love you to join us.

Event planners don’t just plan events: we create experiences where people learn, celebrate, and connect.

Each year surveys from organisations like Forbes, specialist recruitment and HR companies say what every experienced event organiser already knows - that event planning is one of the most demanding and stressful professions alongside surgeons, firefighters, and airline pilots.

However, event planning is also one of the most rewarding, satisfying, and fun professions when things go to plan and your event is a huge success.

So how do you ensure your event will be a success?

SCVO will also be announcing our plans to develop an Event Organisers community of practice. We’ll be bringing together event organisers across our sector to support each other through sharing resources, knowledge and ideas to building a new community of support.
